There are different types of adoptions to consider when considering carrying to term. We recognize that there are many reasons women may consider placing a child for adoption and we understand and never underestimate the difficulty of this decision. While we do not handle adoptions or endorse any one in particular, we can help initially with information and support if you chose adoption as the right decision to do for yourself.

Below are brief descriptions of the types of adoptions within the US that might be relevant to you:

Open: Allows the birth mom (birthparents) to choose and meet the adoptive parents before the baby is born, as well as exchange addresses and phone numbers throughout the adopted child's life. It is also possible for the families to visit one another.

 

Semi-Open: The birthparents are able to pick the adoptive parents from a profile, and are able to stay updated by pictures, etc, through the connection of the adoption agency.

 

Closed: The birthparents and adoptive parents do not meet, exchange information, or contact one another.

 

Talk to our trained counselors if you are interested in learning initial information about adoption options in the privacy of our clinics, by calling us at 1-888-252-1822 or at each individual clinic in our 3 Bay area locations.
